I went to the LGS today and found that they are running their "Holiday Discount" through New Years Eve.  I was excited, as we normally get paid on the 31st and it meant I could pick up that Lord of Skulls or DV for half off.  My roommate gets home and informs me that we aren't getting paid until the 4th, because "getting paid on Dec 31st was a (recently passed away CEO) thing, not a (company) thing."  The 1st is a Holiday, and then we have the weekend, putting it at Monday the 4th.  The 100 people that were expecting and budgeted for the 31st are all going to be disappointed.  Really hurts if you are paycheck to paycheck, too.

 

 

So much for $80 NIB Lord of Skulls

I have been with my current company for just over 5 years, and I always thought payday was on Wednesday because that is when I always had my direct deposit.  There were some people who had paycheck issues on Veteran's Day (Wednesday this year), and the payroll gal sent out an email explaining that there were issues with some banks/credit unions because of the holiday but everything was fine.  She also "reminded" everyone that payday is actually Friday and that direct deposit going through 2 days early was a favor to us, not an obligation.

Little-known fact: Jakku actually just means "our world" in one of the common galactic languages. There are actually a ton of planets called Jakku. So many that they were actually just given letter designations. The 26th is particularly noted for its relaxing hot springs.

 

this is total bs, purely for the sake of a terrible pun
